it's easy

"Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call. Go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone. Don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come. Don’t let people happen to you. Don’t let me happen to you, or her. Shes not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved. Had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this... No! And so I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back, or to act like idiots, or be entirely vulnerable and honest.

"And making someone fall in love with you is easy, and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can't just sit there and do nothing is easy too! And breathing into telephones is not everyone's idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded and that is all that is worth anything really. It makes sense and doesnt at the same time."

club soda

another long beach tourney is over. this year so cow paddled under the club soda moniker. at the beginning we had around 25 people signed up, so we decided to go forward with another season. but come competition weekend, we only had 18 total, so we had to borrow a couple people from the northrop corporate team, water ninjas (it's good to have connections, eh?). overall it was a pretty okay season. not fantastic like last year, but it was still fun. and as usual, we did pretty well for ourselves, considering how many practices we had. i hope we can get a team together for next year as well, but as always with this team, we'll see when the time comes.

vast and endless

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." - Antoine de St. Exupery
